Questions & Answers

Hello, My washer agitator seems to be working fine, however the tub turns as it washes causing the water to just go in circles. The tub and agitator rotate at about the same speed. There isn't any noise or any unusual sounds, just the tub problem. Can you help out? Jim.

ANSWER Hello Jim,
This is the brake not holding properly. Unfortunately, on a Frigidaire, the brake is made on the bottom of the transmission 134737100. If you look at the picture of it, the brake is internal but, the large square thing at the bottom of the transmission should only turn one direction. If the tub turns back and forth with the agitator, the brake has failed and the complete transmission will have to be changed along with the outer tub seal 5303279394 and spin bearing 3204405 assemblies.
